When we hear the name Mary, we can usually say with certainty that the girl bears the name of the Theotokos; however, in recent years it is no longer rare for a girl to have Saint Mary of Egypt as her patron saint. In this case, the 25th "Little and Orthodox" book is a good choice for a bomboniera to gift to our faithful Orthodox guests. Also, we observe that when a girl to be baptized has been given the name Mary on the eighth day of her life, usually, as we said, after the Theotokos, her parents often procure all the "Little and Orthodox" books of the Theotokos and the saints who bear her name; that is, "Saint Mary Magdalene, 34," "The Holy Myrrh-bearing Women, 35," and of course "Saint Mary of Egypt."
